The action will be led by Sandy Sojourners who are marching to City Hall from all 5 boroughs on behalf of communities who felt the worst impacts of the storm. Folks will be walking all the way from the Rockaways, the shoreline communities of Staten Island, and the parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx that are most vulnerable to storms like Sandy. A crowd of hundreds will meet them at the end of they journey at City Hall, where together we’ll stand for the kind of rebuilding that New York City deserves: one powered by renewable energy, that creates good jobs by building affordable housing and strong health care — all in real consultation with communities on the front lines of the climate crisis.
